These Dredd-Heads Have Earned Karl Urban-Signed DREDD Posters!!
The Kidd here...
Four autographed DREDD one sheets showing off Karl Urban's signature were ripe for the taking, and all you needed to do was send in a pic of yourself showing off your best and fiercest Judge scowl in front of wherever you might have such a cool piece of memorabilia. Let's just say that three people really went out of their way to show they were the law... and the other guy - well, he made due with what he had in a creative enough fashion to earn his spot on the winners list.
So, let's take a look at the victors to which will go the spoils, shall we?
- Josh Gilbert
- Tim Langley
- Ramsey Lawson
- Scott Sullivan
That's it. That's the list.
Congrats to all our winners on a job well done, and thanks a lot to Lionsgate and Karl Urban for hooking us up with such a tremendous opportunity.
Oh, and, if you haven't yet, go see DREDD 3D. It's really damn good. If you don't, you're just punishing yourself.

Sad how one of the absolute coolest films of 2012 is being avoided.
by Quake II
I saw it twice and will probably go next saturday again. I can't make it a success alone. Fanboys are all talk. Dredd made 6.3 million...Obviously no one is seeing it. You guys bitch and moan about remakes and shitty PG-13 superhero films but you don't support a badass action film like Dredd. I'll bet that less than 10% of the talkbackers on this site saw Dredd this weekend. Too busy playing Call Of Duty, posting on Aintitcool and eating Cheetos to go to the movies I suppose.
-
I won't lie, I didn't even know it was out this past weekend. Which goes to show the interest level around here.

Coolest film of 2012 is innacurate. It's one of the coolest films EVER.
by Quake II
If John Carpenter still gave a shit and wasn't an old washed-up alcoholic, Dredd is the kind of movie he would have made in his prime.... I hope the Blu sales are stellar and Dredd finds an audience on cable/Netflix etc. It seems 90% of the people that see it love it, the problem is NO ONE went to see it!
-
Everyone should see it. Perhaps word of mouth will help and surely it will find an audience in home video. I'm still riding the high from Saturday night's screening. And I'll be seeing it again this week for sure.
-
Because Brian Cox starred in it.

Quake ii, fuckin-a - see it or turn in your geek card
by Collin Armstrong
Lions Gate did drop the ball on promoting the film, but it was still projected to gross close to twice what it did. Sad business. And *really* sad that generic filler like House at the End of the Street - made with no soul or love for the genre whatsoever - performs better than something so lovingly crafted like Dredd.

then i found out it was only for Americans and that sucks because I made a sweet frackin helmet

....i feel it in the air. The summer's out of reach. <p> Empty lake, empty streets. <P> Judge Dredd 3D goes down alone.... <p> I'm drivin' by your house. Though I know you're not home....... <p> But I can see you- <p> Your brown skin shinin' in the sun <P> You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby <p> And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong <P> After the boys of summer have gone <P> <P> <P> strange that these photos fill me with more melancholy and ennui than Don Henleys classic ode to the end of summer. which reminds me....never drop acid when the fall foliage hits it's peak in northern Vermont.
-
just kidding.
-
To 3D, or not to 3D, that is the question
-
i'm usually the one that skips the 3D films (especially post conversions) but Dredd shines so beautifully in 3D. The violence in this film is a breath of fresh air.
-
The slo-mo 3D violence was awesome. Excellent use of the tech
-
yes it's easily the best use of 3D in the history of everything. this movie has balls and doesn't give a fuck about anything.
-
It's a damn shame. It's an awesome film and I fear we will never get another. The UK box office is nearly matching the US for christs sake!

big jim......3-D for sure. The Slo-Mo drug scenes were MADE for 3-D.
by Quake II
I usually skip the 3-D versions of most movies but Dredd was definately worth the upcharge. I will actually be sad watching Dredd on Blu knowing how glorious and surreal the 3-D was at the theater (since I will never buy a 3-D tv). The action was shot very well (no quick-cuts!) so there is no blurring and the lighting was just right to get the depth in static scenes. Watch it the first time in 3-D (to say you did) and when you see it the second time (you will) decide if it is worth the extra $ again.

that's a shame. :(

It was a bad week for all movies. The TOP film made 13 million.
by Quake II
This film shouldn't have been dumped in September and I agree that Lionsgate didn't promote it well. I never saw Urban or Thirlby doing any late night talk shows and I fear that 75% of Americans have no idea who Dredd is (the few that do probably only know the character from the Stallone film). If this is the last Dredd we ever see on screen, at least it will erase the bad memories of the 1995 version and perhaps create a new generation of fans.

Saw Dredd 3D on Friday, was a solid movie, but wasn't blown away.
by hank henshaw
I think that it deserved better than 6.3 MM in the boxoffice, but it also was far from perfect. Sorry, but I wasn't able to look beyond how underwhelming Mega-City One or the Lawmaster ended up looking (all due to budgetary constraints). On the other hand, I felt like the story was fine, the actors did their job, the action was good, even if it could've used use a little less gore. All in all, better than I expected (much, much better than 1995's Judge Dredd), but not as awesome as some people here would want you to believe.

Highly Entertained it Needs a Sequel! More Twilght will happen if We dont support Dredd
by dannyblack
There is a lot more storyline that was held back from the comics which are promised for a sequel. This film is true to the character of Dredd who more than most characters has a lot of boiling away under the surface. I commend the makers of this film for taking a chance on holding those further aspects of the character back for potential sequels, but it would be the biggest tragedy if we don't get to see this franchise reach its potential onscreen. Dredd has a vast and rich mythology. I'm going to see this film again and urge others out there not to let your unfamiliarity of Dredds world discourage you from supporting a franchise which is trying to serve the source material, in a slow burn kind of way. Remember Dredd started out with a huge disadvantage in the form of Character Assassination by the '95 film and a small $45 million budget where it actually needed a $200 million as well as greater marketing resources.

I'm no fan of post conversion 3D but it does sound like, from what you all are saying, it works.

winners? they all look like loosers to me. BTW the movie is very good.
by julia
-
Ah, the irony.
-
Finally, a comic adaptation with serious balls! See it!
-
Come together so well. The mini-gun scene put Predator's to shame, very awesome.
-
Dredd is amazing, going to see it again tonight and can't wait!
-
hahaha
-
I got a major RoboCop vibe from DREDD. I hope it does well enough to warrant a bigger sequel.
-
I'm sick of this kiddie bullshit. Dredd delivers.
-
But whatevs, he won his poster fair and square.
